Houston Texans CB Stanford Routt was able to take more reps in practice Friday, Dec. 7, and he "was better today," according to head coach Gary Kubiak. Routt might make his team debut in Week 14 against the New England Patriots Monday, Dec. 10. "He's caught on to what we do defensively, especially on third downs," defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said Friday. "That's when he'd have to play early for us."
